Q & A

More about iittala Toikka Yellow GrouseThe iittala Toikka Yellow Grouse is not shy about its enthusiasm for spring, sporting a shining, sunlit complexion and proud, perky posture. Its plumage is handcrafted from a highly reflective glass, picking up the pigment and movement of its surroundings to put on a shimmering lights show...While these flashy feathers are sharply defined around the breast, they gradually become a blur of windswept lines as they reach down to the wide, flat tail. This stunning technique further illustrates Yellow Grouse's lively energy and eagerness to fly. The bird's slender head boasts the same mirrored quality and sits gracefully atop a tall, alert neck. Here to accompany her softer-spoken sister, the Summer Grouse, the iittala Toikka Yellow Grouse will make a dazzling addition to your own family of these unique, individually mouth-blown birds.

The birds of Oiva Toikka's 2014 collection are individually mouth-blown by the master glassblowers at iittala’s glassworks shop. Each handcrafted iittala Toikka Yellow Grouse carries the signature “O. Toikka” on its base to ensure authenticity.

This bird is one of my fravorites from 2014 and its nicely priced at the moment. The blue reflects the light just so that it creates an almost strobe light effect, perhaps intended to mimic a bird ruffling its feathers.
